It’s a Thursday, and George smells terrible. He’s teamed up with Butch and crew to help fix the home (and secretly spy on Butch to find out exactly what he’s up to.) Unfortunately this means he’s been doing a lot of manual labor.

Scott, rattled by his encounter at night with Butch and some strange hoodlums, has been keeping tabs on the young Mafioso. Because Butch is indeed up to something, and our paranoid protagonists are going to find out what it is.

What they find will change the fate of Mrs. Frieda’s Halfway Home forever.Continue reading »

Delta City, Colorado. An abandoned ghost mining town in the hinterlands, it has recently become the subject of interest of the ghost investigators of GEIST (Ghost Enthusiasts Investigators and Science Team), a paranormal enthusiast cable television show.
The team consists of Anthony Brown: an oblivious department store worker who turned to GEIST for easy money and travel, David Santiago: a former investigative journalist in Detroit who had once been attached to a medic battalion in Iraq, and Nicky Hatch, a protective woman who joined GEIST to see if dogs can find ghosts. Along with their trusty cameraman, the team has set out to collect ghost readings, record abandoned houses at night and shout “Oh my god there are ghosts here” after every odd noise.

The team is sure that their only problem will be pretending to be sincere about paranormal activities.Continue reading »

It’s Sunday morning, as so often happens to the Frieda’s kids. All are awakened this time, however, not by Mrs. Frieda’s screeching, but by the sound of shearing metal, breaking plaster, and a loud thump onto the floor. In an unsurprising turn of events, Mrs. Frieda’s Halfway Home, built sometime between the 1800s and the 1940s, doesn’t have ducts capable of supporting the weight of a young commando.

The kids are going to be moved out of their room, in order to not choke on the atmosphere in their room which has now become pure asbestos.

In the meantime there is coffee to be ingested, love triangles to stretch to the breaking point, and Scott’s being moved into Butch’s room. To hang out. With Butch. And all of his friends. Alone.
